It is extremely challenging for conservative college students to pop the bubble of political correctness that surrounds them, and when they do speak, you seldom hear about it.
But I have good news for you. More and more students are refusing to take assaults on family values sitting down. For example, on April 15, a young group of College Republicans at Shippensburg University, Pennsylvania, organized a day of support for traditional marriage.
Looking for reinforcements, the College Republicans invited members of TFP Student Action to join in their efforts.
Shippensburg College Republicans had a table inside the CUB Great Hall building, while TFP Student Action campaigned outside.
The night before the campaign was launched, the College Republicans chalked phrases such as: Sign a petition to protect the sanctity of marriage on campus sidewalks. A press release was also circulated far and wide and reporters from MBC and SUTV covered the event. Posters were strategically placed around campus alerting students to support traditional marriage and oppose its same-sex counterfeit.
In front of College Republicans table in the CUB Great Hall building, a large number of students flocked to sign a petition to protect the sanctity of marriage and family.
TFP volunteers distributing fliers outside the building were warmly applauded by many students, with statements such as: Thank you for being out here, This is awesome and Keep up the good work.
One student enthusiastically remarked: These guys know what theyre doing. Yea, theyre like Special Forces, replied his friend standing nearby.
However, the event drew the ire of some pro-homosexual students. Our posters were torn down, said Shippensburg University College Republicans president Walt Bair, unperturbed by the liberal opposition. Apparently some faculty members were also incensed at the event. When John Miller politely offered the Dean of Students a TFP flier, he rudely replied: I dont want that garbage.
At the end of the day, TFP members gathered to pray three Hail Marys in thanksgiving for a successful event. Morality was upheld. The truth was spoken. Gods law was defended. And the homosexual activists at Shippensburg University were left speechless.

It will be a sad day if it ever comes to a point when saying an obvious truth is considered hate speech. Of course our Canadian buddies are almost to that point. Good work, btw.

So these people push, and push, and push, and won't stop at simple ability to live their life in their own way. No! They insist that others not believing their views irreversably alter their own morals to suit them.
Then, when people finally start saying "Screw THIS! I'm tired of being walked over and on like a door mat", and finally do something about it, the gay activists get all bent out of shape.
It really is unbelieveable. I still say that if conservatives and those not taking the sides of activists gave back the activists half of what they dish out they'd go cowering away with their tails between their legs crying for their attorneys and representatives.
Then, the pendulum began to swing the other way. Non-smokers started getting angry at smokers which is why I will hold to is the primary reason behind all of this anti-smoking movement. They got angry b/c of these "screw you, I'm entitled to my right to smoke and don't care if it bothers you" mentality. Obviously not all, but many.
I'm convinced that had the smokers not taken these positions, that they'd have a lot more friends who are non-smokers. I oppose smoking bans b/c there are really underlying agendas. But don't expect most Americans who aren't "plugged in" to realize that.
Anyway, I see it much the same with the gay movement. They can't just be happy with their own rights, they insist on infringing on the rights of others. They aren't happy with a simple recognition of their rights by those opposed even though as a demographic group they are much better off than just about all demographic groups other than from health/aids standpoints, not the fault of anyone but themselves.
At some point people say "enough is enough", I'm not believing what you believe just b/c you say so. The whole thing is just unbelieveable.
